I think the only way is to start a community and care/animate it. Even with several hundreds of people, instances aren’t really lively. But we’re responsible for this. If we offer regularly quality content, some people will come and stick around. In 2 words: provide value.

It’s Dune for me. Because it’s beautiful, because it’s a great story, because it has exactly the kind of pace I like.

You’re entirely right, I mixed things up. It’s the SACEM, the french royalties collecting company which has been started this way.

It’s still an interesting question to know where to draw the line about reusing other works of art.

Is taking a picture of a drawing and selling it with a filter fair? Our without filter? Is a recording of a recording where you tweak really little things fair?

Where do you draw the line?

Copyright started when French composers noticed people were using their music and they didn’t get anything from it. Are you ready as a professional musician to accept people monetising your work without your knowledge, consent and without you getting anything?

What would be a good system? A system that can realistically be implemented as of today.

First of all, it’s a sponsored feature from the french ministry of education so I’ll drink to this.

And it makes definitely sense in a context of smartphone for video use: you film something, trim it and upload it. No need of an external editor for simple stuff. Great for teachers or anybody using the platform as a free tool and not as an ideological platform.

Maybe https://sepiasearch.org/ is a good way to discover content on peertube. It’s a PeerTube search engine.

That’s a great news!

I’m using The Odin Project to learn to Ruby. And Youtube for the BMX

• Learn Programming. I started Ruby a while ago and I’d like to keep on learning
• and learn BMX. The basics, just for the fun

Well you’re right, they don’t do directly playlists as far as I can tell. But they do an amazing job at presenting artists and music genres: https://daily.bandcamp.com/bandcamp-navigator#all-nav

I agree, we need more curated music playlists. Bandcamp themselves do an amazing job at it

Though I agree with you, there are limits to the “only us” approach: on a bigger level, there’s been research showing that having constant validation from your peer group leads to less empathy and being less open towards other groups. Think about small right-ish groups, validating themselves because they only read things connecting to their ideas.

Or the FOSS-Bros overreacting about GAFAM, harassing good minded FOSS persons because they are not “pure FOSS”, would happen less if they weren’t always validated by their own peer group. (nothing aboout FOSS, it’s just an example of community gone toxic)

So yes, on a micro/personnal level, choose the instance closest to your interest/values. On a macro level, confront your ideas to other different ideas and it will lead to more tolerance and hopefully a better world

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing it well. It became my work ethic.

I think that’s the correct way to make them understand. “Can I browse right now your Facebook account? Or can I read your emails? Right now.” “How about you give me your codes. I swear I won’t use it badly.”

It depends if you want to learn it just for yourself or for your students. They will expect to work with a language that is broadly used.

Great article in order to get an overview of the Rust language

Well, it would mean, that other big companies didn’t spend an awful lot of time in optimizing processes. I don’t believe that Ford or Toyota would say: oh, we have good sales, let’s not optimize the process and earn more. Why would an S-curve work for Tesla and not for any other company?

Just use pleroma, there is no capping
